Portion
To burn it off
Mici, or mititei, are little rolls of minced meat with no skin, grilled over charcoal. The meat is usually beef mixed with lamb or pork, with plenty of garlic and spices.
Three are 400 kcal, with 25 g of protein, 33 g of fat and only 2 g of carbs. Most of the energy is the fat in the mince, which is what keeps them juicy on the grill.
They come with mustard, bread and often fries, and a cold beer is close to mandatory. The mustard is next to nothing, the bread and fries are not in the number above.
Tips
- 1Have them with a salad or pickles instead of fries.
- 2One slice of bread is plenty to mop up the mustard.
- 3Stop at three, the plate will keep coming at a Romanian barbecue.
